PALMETTO, Fla., May 4 - Irish race car driver Ali Jackson will join the
team currently topping the Firestone Indy Lights entrant point standings,
RLR/Andersen Racing, for the balance of the 2009 season.

Welcoming the 20-year-old from Belfast, Northern Ireland to the team will
be its two other drivers in the official development series of IndyCar:
points leader Jonathan Summerton of Kissimmee, Fla., and Mario Romancini of Sao
Paulo, Brazil, who got his first series podium finish April 26 in his first
oval-track race ever.

Team co-owner Dan Andersen said the agreement with Jackson is effective
immediately. Although Jackson tested with the team in the off-season, his
first day as an official RLR/Andersen Racing driver will be tomorrow at a test
at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Indianapolis, Ind. in preparation for
the Freedom 100 there on Friday, May 22.

"We tested Ali at Sebring [Florida] in the off-season and found him to be
very talented and fast, and we're pleased to be able to add him to our lineup
in Firestone Indy Lights," Andersen said. "Our three drivers will all
benefit from each other's efforts and data. We believe Ali will bring good
feedback and results to the team."

"I'm very excited to be joining RLR/Andersen Racing; they're a great bunch
of guys," Jackson said. "I tested with the team at Sebring last year and I
was very impressed.

"Dan Andersen worked hard with my management to get the deal done, and I
would like to thank him for that," Jackson added. "Hopefully all the hard
work will pay off with race wins! I wish Guthrie Meyer Racing, my former team,
all the best."

Although Jackson has an impressive racing resume, his 2009 season has
gotten off to a rocky start. He has had contact in two of the previous four
races; his best finish was a sixth at Long Beach, Calif., and he currently lies
16th in the point standings.

A rookie in Firestone Indy Lights, he comes to the series from British
Formula 3 and Formula 3 Asia. He posted three victories in the later series in
2006, becoming the youngest winner in that series' history and finishing
third overall.

Jackson's new car number will be No. 6. He is sponsored by the luxurious
Moyvalley Hotel & Golf Resort in Kildare, Ireland.
